ftpiercecracker1 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Lookin for the gnarliest tires I can find that will fit a bone stock truck with the factory 15in rims. 800 buck limit Its farm truck used on steep, slick as a morter forker, hills and I am tired of sliding sideways down the hill. thanks for the suggestions.

SW86 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 yup tractor tires are awsome and boggers are too. super swamper tires are pretty much designed for mud. they don't really do well else where... besides rocks that is but depending on which you get, get ready for chunks to come out of them. your not crawling though so your good :thumbsup:
mvusse Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 For tractor tires you will probably need to get 16" rims For a 15" rims I'd suggest Maxxis Buckshot Mudder or BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2. Super Swamper TSL Boggers would be a good choice, but the narrowest they come in to fit under your truck without lift is 12.50, which is too wide for stock rims.
FrankTheDog Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Swamper TSL's, 29/8.50/15. $145.28 a piece at national tire and wheel. Ntwonline.com They have a $50 shipping special on now also.
btm24 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Look for some cheep ol military tires :thumbsup: Brandon
ftpiercecracker1 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Right now i am lookin at the dunlop mud rover 30/9.5/R15($140) or the walmart Nexen Roadian MTs 235/75/R15 ($110) both have free shipping, but the mud rovers are definatly more aggresive and they both fit a 15in rim.
mnkyboy Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I put 31x10.50x15 Maxxis Big Horns on my XJ,they seem to do well everywhere and where about $700 out the door.
Motion Offroad Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 ...Maxxis Big Horns... We sell the snot out of these and everyone seems to love them. We run them on our own rigs upto the 35" size (to bad they don't make them in 37" or we'd be running those as well!). Can't beat the price and performance of them.
ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 http://www.treadwright.com Rob I just got done looking at the site and I don't know what to think. It sounds to good to be true. I mean 400 dollars for a brand new set of true MTs shipping included??? :eek: Is this some kind of cruel twisted joke? or have you just become my new bff? seriously they have 100% hard core mud tires for 79 bucks A PIECE!
SW86 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 i know several guys running those retread tires and have nothing bad to say about them. even running aired down (voids warranty iirc) for rocks, they held up good
mvusse Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Airing down will void the warranty on any tire. Guy I wheel with has been running a set of their's on their off road rig for two years. Former coworker had a set on hiis DD Dakota. No complaints from either. When it's time for new tires on Sparkles some time later this year, that's where they will come from.
mjeff87 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I'm running them on my TJ.....been on a little over a year and almost 20K miles and they still look "new". I rotate them every 3rd oil change. $520 bux, shipped to my door: Image Not Found Image Not Found
duster1971 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 My dad had a set of the nexan roadian m/t. They actualy were a decent tire in the mud. But not near as good as the bf goodrich m/t. Or even the bf goodrich a/t.
SW86 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 a friend just threw on those wally world MTs and says they're okay. he's not really an offroading guy (mud, maybe) but this weekend Ill put them to the test and let you know :chillin:
boardmanMJ Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 if your looking for an agressive tire the interco TSL swampers are going to be the best bang in my opinion. i would stay with the interco brand, but away from the thornbirds or even the M16s if you are going for serious mud (neither the thornbird nor the m16 clean out very well) if your looking for something that still handles mud well but is still streetable i would look into the truxus m/t.

camjeep3 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 TSL or LTB swamper, id say no to boggers, just because they are lacking in lateral traction.
86customanche Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 TSL or LTB swamper, id say no to boggers, just because they are lacking in lateral traction. :agree: only main difference in those is radial vs bias
summerinmaine Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 http://www.treadwright.com Rob I've been following this thread as I'll be in the same boats pretty soon. I'll be spending the month of March down in Baja, and it's likely that will be the end of my ProComp M/Ts. I liked the sound of some of the Treadwright deals, but it seems that their 15" tires are all pretty much out of stock. Is this the wave of the future; that 15" rims/tires are approaching obsolescence? It happened to me before with all the cars I owned having 13" rims. Should I start thinking about sourcing some 16" rims? My MJ has been lifted, and if I buy 31/10.5/16s it shouldn't matter anyway, cause 31" OD and 10.5" section width are the same no matter what the rim diameter, right?
